I reinforced the point at which the wings connect to the fuselage.

Building the fuselage, the parts actually broke in my hands. I modified the construction of the fuselage.

I decided to try one of the Guillows Series 900 models. When I opened up the kit, I was disappointed to see that the sheet balsa was only 1/20th thickness. Per the stock plans, the construction of the model was very thin and fragile. I doubled the amount of ribs and adding additional spars and stringers to the model.

Guillows Cessna Bird Dog, built with no modifications and flew great. Did take a lot of weight. Almost lost her on the second flight, and she hit a tree.

The paint went on great, final weight is 17 grams. Have not decided on the wheels yet, that is why the wire is not bent. Should be a great flyer.

This is the paint I am going to try. I don't normally use spray paint on flying models since it adds too much weight. I hear this stuff is as light as the old spray Pactra dope. I will see how this goes and let you all know.
